Yes, it is a fact that several nominations came to Belle | fonte this time, and is that acrime? We | think not. It is a recognized practice and a picce | of political strategy, if that is the proper | term, to divide up the ticket each year so that the various sections of the county will be represented. That is good poli. tics, generally speaking. But then this practice may be carried to extremes, Men often base their entire claim on the matter of location, forgetting adaptabil- | ! nomination, ity and sacrificing the highest of all claims, that of ability and fitness to fill public positions, This latter can not be attributed to the present situa- tion. Anyone of the Prothonotary or condition Legislative candidates would have grac- ed the ticket, The facts in the case are easily summed up. vass this year, ed in the war, Little interest wasshown in the can. Everybody was absorb. The various candidates traveled the county and the ones who succeeded are the ones who seemed to have worked and traveled the most in. dustriously, personally soliciting support, like busy bees improving each shining hour, That what won, more than anything else, is what counts and that is Ifa number of Bellefonte candidates were nominated, it is simply because the peo- ple wanted them, Bellefonte has only seven delegates, while in the balance of It was the votes from the majority of the del the county there are over eighty, Po gates outside of Bellefonte that made the The voters in the country districts instructed them in this manner, It is a democratic principle that a major. ity rules and as long as that is a safe guide in making vominations,no sensible t man has ¢ fault or ousistent and ¢ Sam i a « : voters atthe polls made 1g else gave Belle this time, CANDIDLY SPEAKING there were some rassing situations in the convention on Tue A UE sday, but while they were of no ser ious nature and injured n e, it has our er 1 of satisfacti the world wil normal condit the sand Wheat and that out of the ye ons is coming down Many a (rowing makes the gold bug tremble republican con. tractor is fat on army contracts now, and that may be the reason for : prolonging the war.
